Ekster - Parliament Pop Up Minimalist Wallet for Men - Mens Wallets Leather - RFID Blocking Card Holder Wallet with Push Button and Card Ejection - Leather Wallet - Easy Access

I am very happy with how this wallet has performed, the size and usability. It has been my favorite wallet I have ever owned! Sadly the clip on the inside that pushes the cards up broke and is no longer pushing out my cards. Not sure why this happened, didn’t drop, no change in the number or type of cards used since beginning use. I have and will continue to recommend this wallet!

Really like the wallet! It’s super minimalist so know that before buying it. Over all the materials are great, the build is solid and I really do think it’s worth the amount you put in. It’s so nice not to have a huge fat wallet in my back pocket anymore. It limits the amount of cards and cash you can carry but I like that.. it makes you re think what is important and even helps with budgeting as you can leave some of those easy to use credit cards at home. Also yes as the other reviewers mentioned the back two card slots are not as tight so cards may fall out, this does not bother me much though because as long as you’re not swinging the wallet around you’re fine. Edit: it’s now June 2021 so I’ve owned this wallet for almost 3 years now. Hands down the best wallet ever. It still looks great and it’s been through a lot in those 3 years! Great investment. Honestly I don’t think I’ll need another wallet for another 2 or 3 years unless I break this one somehow.

In short, I think this is a really good wallet if you don't use or need to carry cash. The Parliment with the leather "case" is a nice touch, but you could probably get just as much utility out of the basic Ekster card holder. The card slot and ejection system is very cool and easy to use. When filling with the proper amount of cards I had to try very hard to fling the wallet around in such a way that cards fell out. The reason that I ultimately returned this wallet is that I am apparently a dinosaur who still uses cash and the cash band on this wallet just didn't do it for me. To start it is not the most secure method of holding cash -- you need a sizeable wad for it to be held securely. And as someone who used their last wallet for 10+ years before it fell apart, I want something that will last me another 10+ years. The elastic of the cash strap did not look or feel like it would last me 10 years, let alone 2-3. A few other things to note. The leather quality on here was just okay. Better than a lot of cheaply made leather goods, but not premium by any means. I am unsure how it would hold up over time and don't think you would ever get a patina or anything like you'd want out of a good quality leather item. The size of this wallet is great -- very small. However, due to the rigid structure of the card holder, it can sometimes be uncomfortable in a back-pocket. This is probably best as a front-pocket wallet.

I got this wallet after tons of research between different small form wallets. This design and setup I thought was perfect for what I wanted in it. However, this past weekend I went to retrieve a credit card and the push out mechanism was broken. I managed to grab the very end of my cards and pull them out to find the actuator arm was in 2 pieces. Through normal wear and tear I figured this would last much longer than it did. The leather is still basically brand new looking too. I think this is a dead wallet now since I can't get my cards out. Be very gentle with it I guess.

I did extensive research on this wallet, and saw that the previous 2 versions had issues with the cards falling out if the wallet was shaken upside down. I was under the impression that this issue was fixed with the 3rd version, but unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case. I bought this for my husband for Christmas, and at first the wallet seemed good quality. The leather seemed nice, and while the button seemed to be made of a cheaper plastic, it functioned as it was supposed to, so I had no complaints about that. The wallet easily fit 6 of my husband's credit cards, and they popped up perfectly once the button was hit. The issue came when I turned the wallet upside down and shook it a bit - 2 of the cards flew straight out. I didn't even have to shake it hard for this to happen either. I'm afraid that it will happen if he accidentally carries the wallet upside down or takes it out of his pocket while it's upside down and accidentally shakes the credit cards out. I'm extremely disappointment with that aspect of the wallet, because like I said, I was under the impression that this was a known issue with the previous wallet versions, but that it was fixed with the 3rd. The quality of the wallet to me on this aspect alone just does not justify the price point. I would not recommend this wallet.

I have been hesitant to drop this type of money on a wallet, but I have no regrets. This is a great wallet for those who prefer to put theirs inside their front pocket like myself. The leather is quality and you can store 8 to 10 cards comfortably. There is also a band inside for a few cash bills, but I prefer the outside pocket on the back since I didn’t purchase the version with the tracker (decided to use an apple air tag for that). When using the card holder mechanism, a combination of embossed and non-embossed cards are best. After experimenting, I found that six cards in that combination provides the best balance between keeping the cards snug while still being able to smoothly eject them. Several hard shakes will still make it possible for them to begin to creep out, but what would you expect. I did a few drop test, and trust me, your cards will not fly all over the place over an accidental drop. I will provide an update in a few months for durability, but for those that carry a minimum amount of cash and want a more sophisticated wallet over the ultra minimal ones that are basically two pieces of metal attached by a band, this wallet is excellent. If all goes well, I will buy a few more color ways.

My son’s favorite wallet! This is the second one he’s owned

I was really excited about this wallet because it looked like a better designed and more functional version of a Ridge wallet. The product description says "Stores 10+ cards in total and the built-in aluminum cardholder stores 4-6, depending on the number of embossed cards.". After trying this wallet out I can say that in my opinion there is no way this wallet could ever hold 10+ cards. The cardholder will only hold 6 cards if the cards are not embossed. If even one is, 4 is about all it can take. Even if all 6 cards are not embossed the cardholder will not function as described as it ejects all 6 cards together, without separation. The only way I could get the cards to separate with the ejector was using 5 or less cards. The side slots on the flap will hold exactly 1 card each, as will the back slot, though all 3 of these slots are very tight and it is difficult to get cards in and out of them. The product description says "Depending on the number of cards and bills stored in the wallet, the flap may not close entirely in the first weeks of use."; I can confirm if anything is in the slots the flap will not close. I returned the wallet before 2 weeks of use so I can't verify if the flap would eventually close, but since it is made of leather it seems likely that would be the case. Pros: +Good quality +Ejector on cardholder does work, provided you use 5 or less cards - 4 or less if they are embossed +Attractive design Cons: -Ejector on cardholder is easily overloaded and should you accidentally overload it getting the cards out is extremely difficult -Slots in the flap and back are too tight -Not initially being able to fully close the wallet is annoying -Product will not hold 10+ cards If you only need to store 7 or less cards and can live with some of them (especially embossed cards) being in the slots on the side/back then this wallet would likely work well for you (that being said, you can find wallets that store 7 cards for less money than this). If you need a wallet that actually will store 10 cards, like me, then you should look elsewhere. This is a really good idea and I really like the design, it just doesn't execute as well as I had hoped.

Wife got this for me for my bday. I love it. It’s my third wallet from these guys in the last work years. The blue looks amazing. This is the Cadillac of wallets in this style. To the George castanzas crying about the number of cards it hold, the whole point is to be minimal and hold less cards. 5 stars as always Ekster.

Like it so far. Very tiny and love the cards showing up upon the press of a button. I added a “tracker card” linked to my iphone tracking system. When i put it in a unusual place i can make it ring. Its a minimalist wallet and not very suited for cash. Great for the cards

Very very good looking minimalistic wallet. Will last forever. So I need more colours. Will recommend buying one new colour for every day!!!

This is my second Ekster Parliament. I loved my first one but the system broke after 2 years of heavy use. the wallet itself is in great shape, but it just does not work anymore. i either put too many cards in it or it may have got too cold (it was -30 and i was paying for gas on the day that it quit working). so no, this is not a wallet you will be handing down to your grandkids, but it is a fantastic card holder, and small wallet.

Ha sido un regalo para mi marido y le encanta. Es una cartera muy practica y moderna.
